Disease is the tax which the soul pays for the body, as the tenant pays house-rent for the use of the house.
Quotations
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
A man is truly free, even here in this embodied state, if he knows that God is the true agent and he by himself is powerless to do anything.
God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God.
Many good sayings are to be found in holy books, but merely reading them will not make one religious.
The way of love is as true as the way of knowledge. All paths ultimately lead to the same Truth. But as long as God keeps the feeling of ego in us, it is easier to follow the path of love.
If you desire to be pure, have firm faith, and slowly go on with your devotional practices without wasting your energy in useless scriptural discussions and arguments.
Longing is like the rosy dawn. After the dawn, out comes the sun. Longing is followed by the vision of God.
Many good sayings are to be found in holy books but merely reading them will not make one religious. One must practice the virtues taught in such books in order to acquire love of God.
